This is an Addendum No. Two document issued by the City of Boston for Event No. EV00017655 regarding the Coordinated Street Furniture Program. The addendum, uploaded on October 14, 2026, provides supporting materials from a Virtual Q&A session held on September 23, 2026. The attached resources include a slide presentation, chat transcript, full video recording with transcript and screen captures, and sign-in form responses from the Q&A conference. These materials are accessible via a Google Drive link and serve to inform prospective bidders about the program requirements and answer questions raised during the pre-proposal conference. The proposal submission deadline is November 4, 2026, and the contract term is ten years with a seamless transition required following the current contract's expiration on May 1, 2027.

The program involves managing and modernizing Boston's advertising-supported street furniture infrastructure, including 281 existing bus shelters, 106 city information panels, 47 digital urban panels, 42 telephone pillars, 6 automated public toilets, and approximately 480 trash and recycling receptacles. Contractors are required to refurbish existing shelters, convert approximately 100 shelters to digital advertising, and expand bus shelter coverage by adding 500 new shelters over the contract term. The contractor bears all capital and operating costs, which are repaid through CSFP advertising revenue under a revenue-sharing arrangement. The City encourages participation from small, local, minority-owned, women-owned, and veteran-owned businesses. Massachusetts prevailing wage requirements apply, and liquidated damages of $200 to $500 per incident apply for maintenance non-compliance. Bidders must submit separate technical and price proposals, with sealed pricing evaluated only after technical review.
